About Caddo Parish Public Schools
Caddo Parish Public Schools is a public school district located in the northeast corner of Louisiana, on the west side of Shreveport, with 58 schools and approximately 37,000 students in grades pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Problems Solved
- Limited Budget
- Tight Timeframe
- Aging Hardware
Challenge
PA System: With a limited budget, Caddo could only afford installation labor in a few schools each year, which meant that a district-wide replacement would take many years.
Bell Scheduler: Caddo limped along with an unreliable bell system that required a reboot after every storm.

Wahsega’s exclusive wiring technology reduced installation labor costs for Caddo by almost 50%. The savings were allocated to the next school that needed a new PA system.
